I have many fond memories of Ed during my high school days at YFC. The last time I saw Ed was in the parking garage at Wolf Creek while moving my mother to another residence. Our prayers are with the family. Bob & Terrie Houck

I remember "Uncle" Eddie's smile and kind ways when we shared family holidays at my Uncle Roger and Aunt Theola's home. My prayer is for Jesus to give comfort to his family until we join him in our heavenly home.

The Lachmiller's were our neighbors while I was a kid growing up in Toledo, Ohio. They were the nicest neighbors you could ever have hoped for. They stayed good family friends, remembering our birthdays, graduations and weddings many years on, which was very touching. I'm very glad I was able to visit with them both last Christmas at the Lutheran Village. Edward Lachmiller will live on in my memory as a very caring, supportive person.
